2020 Challenge: Paint as many buildings in 2020 as you painted minis in 2019!

A Reaper Frost Giant
This one started so well, but I just ran out of patience with it and finished it up quickly. I do like the snow base I made though.

Great job painting. Is he knee deep in snow? His legs look really short.

Thanks.
He is in kind of a crouched position. The snow only comes up to about halfway up his feet (ankle height). The figure does have a long torso.

Here is an underground waterfall concealing a passage I whipped up for our next D&D session:

Side view:

It is designed to be compatible with my Dungeon Forge Master Maze and Hirst Arts pieces:

Here is an action shot my son took with his phone:

Damn you, Pogre.

And here I am, using the minis I have, 4E-era map tiles, and wet-erase chessex mats with tile-constructed areas for important rooms that have to look nice...

That's what I do, and that looks pretty nice too. While I really do admire some of the folks on this board that go to such lengths to create beautiful scenery for their campaigns... I'm glad that there are simple alternatives such as dungeon tiles, for folks like me. I wouldn't know where to store it all if I also had miniature terrain.

I'm kinda doing halfway scenery, which is using 2D battlemaps and embellishing them with 3D terrain. I do love, love how the full 3D stuff looks though.

Printable Scenery's Merchant and Market Building
I printed and painted this building. It is quite large and did not fit in my light box. I apologize for the poor quality of the photos.

I’ve had more time myself to paint and have completed 11 minis so far in 2020. I use Pogre’s threads each year to get back to painting to try new techniques.

11?!? Wowsers!

I've just started painting for the first time in over 20 years thanks to Pogre's inspiration. I was never any good and all the YouTube guides haven't helped my technique. . I may just stick with washes and dry brushing because layering and blending is beyond my skill. I'm on my fourth mini for 2020.

 

[pogre]

Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot to me!

Here is a fun little miniature from Black Tree Designs - A Wizard on a Flying Carpet

I’m like Tommy Bahama, base coat, wash, highllights and say it’s finished.

I’m in awe of seeing these minis posted in his yearly threads and the guys on YouTube like dr Faust that I watch for some ideas to try....but rarely do.

Keep ‘em coming, fun seeing how they turn out.

I like the base for the flying carpet. It looks like stars in the night sky. How did you achieve it? Really nice job all around.

I wish I could take credit, but the base came that way from Black Tree.

You may know the old saying. "When in doubt paint a Skaven." O.K., that's not really an old saying - it's my old saying

The first miniature is an old GW metal figure. The second is a plastic model.

For me it's 'when in doubt, paint a statue' (as any mini can double as a statue ).

Oh, and nice red on the robe/rags BTW.
